I related to both characters at different places in my life before and it really made me reflect on myself.

I'm listing my favorite incest manga in honor of the OP failing the anons who asked for incest last thread. I'm not even super into incest but good BL is good BL.
Ani no Chuukoku by Asada Nemui. Wish this one had been longer and not part of an anthology. This one is just really fun, it's basically the story about the redditor who broke both his arms but instead of a redditor it's a cute delinquent and instead of his mom it's his sexy yakuza big brother.
Not Equal by Ike Reibun. Father son incest is gross and this is the only manga featuring it that I can even get through because this author is so brilliant. It's got a time travel thing going on and it's emotional.
Ai to Makoto by Moriyo. This is one of those ABO manga that take the fated pair thing and make it tragic, which is my favorite type of ABO. The translation I read of this was absolutely terrible but I still enjoyed it.
Kawaii Kara Kimi Ga Warui by Nen Nenko. Very cute. MC thinks his cousin is into his sister and the story builds around that misunderstanding. Love the art in this one. Cousins are barely incest by BL standards but I really like this one.
Aniki no Ichiban Oishii Tokoro by Mizuhara Zakuro. Another one with really cute art. Mostly porn. Plot has something to do with archery which is attractive.
And because I know OP is really gonna love this one, Onii-chan Datte Amaetai Wake de. I like this one because the big brother looks like a little brother. It's mostly porn, though. The author does not let you forget that the boys are brothers.

>>241501 and
>>241502 said calling any young girl "loli" would be just as stupid and "shota" doesn't mean "young boy" but refers to the original shotacon target of admiration just like lolita refers to the novel's titular character. The term "shota" is strongly associated with moidshit and I hate how the tag is supposed to host everything from literal toddlercon for pedo scrotes to a babyfaced 16-year old more appealing to fujos. I want to defend women's rights to enjoy nonthreatening young boys, not men living out their pedo fantasies. You constantly see men trying to be slick and conflating ships like KawoShin to the graphic shotacon doujins of a teacher raping his 7-year old student just because they're "both minors" to force fujos to do their bidding. I'm not going to carry this argument on any further because I'm just going to be called a "twitter sjw who needs to take her meds" so I'm just going to end this by saying that male suicide rates aren't high enough.

Halfway end in the story i just realized that Minho has a similar relationship with Doona that he has with Wookyung, and by that i mean that Minho lets Doona have sex with him in exchange for her giving him a place to live.

>>241660I honestly think Shota Oni is popular in part
because of how boring and sexless it is. I think that's part of it's appeal. It's an incredibly safe way for a young fujo to enjoy so called 'shotacon' content. Like you can read this and know that these characters aren't going to do anything that's more than just a little suggestive. Maybe the author will give us something after a timeskip but it's not likely because dragging the story out the way it is now is more profitable.
Part of it's popularity is also owed to it getting it's start as free to read on Pixiv. Free means more accessible and more accessible can mean easier to get very popular.

nonnas who like incest in bl, why do you like it? what kind of dynamics do you like? what are your favorite pairings?
what i like the most about it is how the characters deal with the taboo nature of it, the shame and the guilt, and the fear of destroying their familiar relationship. it's basically the pinacle of forbidden love. even if it's onesided it's interesting to see how the "normal" person reacts.
i avoid anything underage and/or with grooming or yandere/possessive vibes. it creeps me the fuck out and it's way too close to real life imo. i also avoid parent-child for the same reasons, but there is a short story, Father Figure iirc, written by the same team behind the In These Words manga, that was equally parts fucked up and bittersweet in all the best ways; i was crying by the end of it.

I think it's just an extension of my wanting to emotionally torture my fav characters, if it wasn't the incest it would be something else, it just happens that for these particular two it's the worst thing that could happen to either one of them.

No. 242482
>>242431I don't have a big fetish for it in particular (and definitely not into parent/child stuff) but as a general rule, the #1 appeal in any dynamic for me is conflict. Like, I want to feel that the couple getting together is far fetched or difficult, and I want to see the author managing to pull it off and get them together regardless. It makes it seem like their feelings are more intense, the sexual tension is higher, with incest in particular there's inherent proximity that adds to it.
My fav sibling pair is the Elric brothers because it has the aspects mentioned above but also a weird plausibility? Prepare for sperging, I've really thought about this shit
>Al didn't go through a normal puberty and Ed didn't see his body for many years, so it's possible the westermarck effect didn't occur>Al might not be prepared for sexual maturity once he gets his body back and who better to explain/assist with embarrassing things than his brother>Ed dedicated so much of his life to getting Al's body back, so once it returns he's particularly fixated on it >Al hasn't experienced physical touch for so long that he is also fixated on itBut yeah I'm more into fanworks than original BL, so my taste is more about how people intepret character dynamics than how they actually are in canon.

No. 242502
>>242431I like the longing looks. The words never said. The physical touches that border on being too intimate, too loving .The slow realization that maybe, just maybe, the love they have for each other goes a little bit deeper than just familial. The guilt, the shame, and the hatred that overtakes. The reconciliation, in which they throw caution to the wind because, fuck, they're truly and deeply in love, and nothing can ever change that.
>>242483I get along well with both my siblings, and I enjoy incest quite a lot, whether it be romanticized or not. I was never disgusted by incest in fiction because I never saw myself in it. Where the incestuous characters start, I end. I am merely a bystander watching as they pursue their illicit desire. Same goes for parental incest (which I've noticed a couple of anons are apprehensive of).
No. 242525
>>242502Same as this nona, I also have an older sibling who I've never been attracted to, but I very much enjoy fictional incest, both between siblings and parental. I never self insert into fiction and I view it merely as entertainment, so I guess that's why "

problematic favourites that people would shame me for but it definitely affects my view of them because it's one of those taboos that define a person imo. It's one thing to enjoy it as a smutty porn kink but somehow when it crosses over to the star-crossed lovers kind of thing it becomes too disturbing.
No. 242535
>>242431Pretty much what you said about navigating it and feeling guilty. I'd also add that I love how incest adds a level of impenetrable love. You can't get in the way of blood. No matter what happens between the two, they're always tied to each other and have imprinted history, memories, connection, etc. My fave type of incest is brothers easily, parentuncle/younger stuff doesn't click as hard.
The guilt stuff hits even harder if the older brother blames himself for essentially encouraging it/not putting his foot down because he loves his little brother too much who doesn't know better yet. His little brother struggles to distinguish different types of love but in the end he unabashedly loves his big brother wholeheartedly while the older one is still mentally struggling.

Do you necessarily relate to the characters you are into? Personally, I need to relate to at least one part of the ship, but it seems like this is different depending on the person. I know another one who is the same and her love for the guys she ships is a mix between relating to certain traits or backgrounds, admiration and of course sexual attraction to the opposite sex. But then again many shippers cannot relate at all but still like it. To me emotions, mental issues or the way characters are treated by others were never generally foreign just because it's manga characters. It depends on the character though, the traits or treatment must of course match.
That makes me wonder about another thing which is why I relate so much with 2D characters in general but rarely even get real people. I think it's because how fiction works. Even a crazy villain can be relatable because fiction directly tells you their thoughts and feelings whereas real people hide, lie or are simply unreadable or too different. And manga are even more extreme than other media since drawings are more expressive than real faces and personalities and characters are written way more straight-forward and are less complicated than real humans. Maybe I am just autistic or something.

>>242431Incest shipping is emphatically not my thing, but reading the responses to your post has been interesting. Like other anons have said, it's just like any other fetish, where if you're not into it, you're never gonna get why other people are.
Years ago when I was into Homestuck, I had a friend who was super into Stridercest and I just never got the appeal. It was forever ago, but I think her rationale was similar to what anons here are saying, which is that some people experience a reverse-psychology effect, where something becomes more appealing expressly because it's taboo. I'm not very close friends with that person anymore, but in recent years she trooned out and became super woke-puritanical. Every time I see her tut-tutting someone online for being "
problematic" I think back to all the smutty Stridercest fanfic she wrote and I laugh to myself.
I guess I could theoretically tolerate step-sibling incest if the story it's in is really well-written, but that's as far as I would go. I guess I'm pretty vanilla by fujoshi standards, because shota and incest squick me the hell out. I'm not new to slash either, I've been part of the community for like fifteen years; I was put off by it long before it was considered "
problematic."
>>242497Wait, what? Anon, did you not live with him or something? I don't want to shame you too hard here, but I have an older brother as well and that strikes me as really weird. When I was a kid, some of my friends had crushes on my brother and even
that weirded me out.

>>242647I find that my favorite ships that I latch onto for a long time usually have one or both characters that speak to me on a deeper level because I relate to them. One of my oldest OTPs has a character that I made the theme of my old blog and I used to cosplay him. It wasn't really a self insert thing, I didn't imagine myself as him, it was more like "he just like me fr fr" so I found a lot of comfort in that character and ship. These days though, I tend to seek out more characters that I specifically don't relate to because I've found so many that I comfortably connect with, it's more exciting to see characters that are outrageous or extreme in a way that's still convincing.

This one shot was decent. When I finished it I thought it would fare better as a longer serialization and turns out it did get a (short) serialization of 5 chapters afterwards, according to the scanlators, but I haven't seen anything around.

>if yuri on ice belonged to kyoani you'd see like 3 sequels by nowGod, don't remind me. We will have died of old age before they finally release that movie. But yeah, I love that Kyoani is at least making a sequel for Tsurune, they would have never let the YoI hype die down like this.
It's a shame because anime like YoI, where the fujo pandering and gay hinting is more than just just comedic relief barely exist whereas every second anime has girls touching each others asses or has them telling each other they couldn't live without the respective other.

Any genre, any character dynamics, any setting, obscure preferred but popular stuff is ok too though I have already read a lot, but it doesn't even have to be manga either.

No. 246813
>>246291I don't know why anons are seething at you so much, you're absolutely right even if you didn't word your thoughts properly and they probably feel called out. There are a lot of hetshippers who leech off the content fujos create like fanart and artbooks of the choice male characters and think that the two attractive male characters together is a "good aesthetic" but they're not actually invested in them as a romantic couple because gays are gross and just want to use them as a continuation of their self-insert fantasy. They're usually the homophobic yaoi fangirl type that people think all fujos are and who make everyone else uncomfortable by talking about how they want to suck character x's fat dick and carry his babies. They're the ones calling a lesbian fujoshi an oxymoron because they can't comprehend the idea of shipping without self insertion and bragging about how homophobic they are IRL.
The issue isn't multishipping per se (like shipping a male character with both male and a female character) like everyone seems to think but the tonal difference in enthusiasm and attitude that they have. I.e. treating the gay ship similarly how scrotes see lesbian porn and the hetero ship as the "real couple". Disappointed to see that so many people whiteknight hetfagging without an ounce of critical thinking but I guess it's once again people refusing to post in the dead as fuck otome thread and instead lurk this one to, like I said, leech off fujos.
No. 246814
>>246787Doesn't change the fact that it's popular and had fujoshi reading it at some point. I still remember when everyone seethed because of Akito not being a guy because it ruined their gay pairings so even if some girls gave up on the manga for this reason they were still invested at some point. And it's iconic enough to get a new anime adaptation in an era when shojo manga only get live action adaptations that suck ass.
It should have stayed a funny romcom instead of becoming a melodramatic family bullshit imo but that's off-topic. I don't think I know any woman with actual normal or good taste who like shit like My dress up doll or whatever. At most you'll find some who will enjoy reading Love Hina or GTO or things by Rumiko Takahashi.

>>246851Not the anon you replied to but there's a constant struggle with yuri in Japan regarding female mangakas seething over men taking over their space so while it's incorrect to say that all GL is written by men it's true that they love the genre and slobber all over it, creating the assumption that it's made for them.
That said even as a lesbian myself I just don't understand the appeal of most yuri, the mainstream content is infantilized "cute hyperfemme girls doing cute/lewd things" school romcom stuff or edgy demon vampire femme girls pinning each other against the wall, overall shit I would imagine teenage wuhluhwuh activists or transbians enjoying.

The weeb girls in my high school who liked it were also all over Angel Sanctuary and X1999, and we know the main pairings in these ones aren't the most vanilla either.

They're probably in a development hell lacking funding to finish the job because YoI isn't as relevant with the mainstream anymore and it's just the small fandom waiting for something they were promised years ago. What they fail to realize is that the movie could be used to reignite the old show's success and draw new attention to it creating new fans, but instead they're too busy pushing half-hearted bootleg copies of it like Dance Dance Danseur.

>>247068See what you're trying to sell as "reasonable dislike of gay moids" often includes homophobia against homosexuality in general or at least a back door for it, that includes lesbians and bisexual women no matter how much dressing you put on it. From my perspective as a lesbian what's being discussed here is the certain breed of hetshippers who want to hetbend m/m ships to be but their self-insert fantasy because they find
homosexuality as a concept disgusting, having met the type they love to drop discreet homophobic bombs and push their m/f ships as the "canon" one. It doesn't make you some spineless faghag pickme to feel uncomfortable about it. People already allowed moids in fujo spaces and now they're attempting to co-opt the space for their coomer femboy fantasies and straight handmaidens fully feed into it, I couldn't imagine what would happen if genuine homophobes started making themselves comfortable.

The aversion to self-insertion is pretty common with lesbians and GNC women specifically because they grew up without proper representation of what they are so they learned to enjoy media without treating it as some extension of their personal power fantasies.
>speaking of hetbending, if most canon female characters are so badly written that you just have to ship m/m for gay content why do i hardly ever see yuribending?It could possibly be because you're blind, "yuribending" exists literally everywhere these days and I don't know if you're just pretending to be obtuse, stuck under a very small rock or straight out ignoring the abundance of popular F/F ships. As for why m/m is so popular with lesbians, first of all because original yuri content is niche one-note garbage with almost no variation and BL is the next best genre entirely produced by women. You barely see women being into m/m created by actual men (and I mean
genuinely interested, not just for contrarian woke points) because it doesn't resonate with them, so it's not the genders of the characters that matter but rather who's making the narrative choices. But honestly, trying to explain this to someone who simply Does Not Get It and isn't even receptive to the idea is a waste of time and effort.

Hell I remember when fujos were hopeful for the future after Yuri on Ice and Tiger and Bunny became successful. Now we will probably never get that damn movie, TaB II had almost 0 fan service in that regard (and I am don't like the end) and there is not much else in sight, animewise. Sport series that threw hints at the beginning like Ryman's Club forgot and did absolutely nothing with it and the only recent rays of hope I remember are SK8 with its pandering and gay antagonist and Golden Kamuy with its neverending male fanservice and gay jokes.

For better or worse, the reasons moids get what they want is because they make themselves heard, authors are afraid to not pander to them.

>>247015I'm sorry for the late reply
nonny! You're the only person so far that I've been able to talk about this ship with, let alone the 2003 series (most fma fans seem to just foam at the mouth when I bring anything but Brotherhood up). I'm really curious to know which writing decisions you didn't like. There were a lot of really interesting episodes in the '03 series, though I didn't like all of it, and some of the character decisions were meh. For me personally I think it was just the overall tone of the series being a little more serious and honestly just weird af that I liked.
I did enjoy parts of Brotherhood though. I remember really liking Isaac as a character and was sad that he was only in it for one ep kek. The homunculi in both were pretty mediocre to me, though I loved the dwarf in the flask ep. And Roy's freakout with Envy is still one of the coolest eps in brotherhood by far (and I liked that he just got way more screentime to be a badass in general, picrel). My gripes with Brotherhood is that I felt the writing was just really… idk, too melodramatic and drawn out at points. Like I preferred 2003 Envy to Brotherhood Envy because he's less of a cartoon villain. Scar was more narratively interesting to me in 2003 too and my B-side ship was him and Edward. I wasn't too into Roy/Ed (was more into Roy/Hughes) and I also kind of liked shipping Greed with Ling.
I confess I haven't read the manga though, since I heard it was just Brotherhood. So maybe there's more in there that I haven't seen.

Found a place with the majority of BP uploaded so I binge read it and UGH I'm unfortunately very invested in the story and I'm about to go buy the latest 9 chapters because I can't find them online kek. I know people rip on it for being a KS rip off but I don't care.
I love reading BL with super fucked up relationships, shit that turns into classic stockholm syndrome stuff. None of that "woe is me" for Seo Ilmo, I just love that he's a crazy whack job asshole and Ah In is his unfortunate victim who is the only one who can "bear his love." Please rec me similarly super fucked up BL (or if anyone knows where the latest episodes are uploaded… please share that too lol). I've already read as much Harada stuff that I could find.

>>248910kek yes, like the other anon said it's Kuroko, those are the two main characters. The series has a LOT of popular ships, there's a lot of interpersonal character drama and it just gets gayer the more characters you're introduced to. If you like "bitter exes who can't get over each other" type dynamics, you will have a lot of fun. A lot of famous BL mangaka have made doujins for the series too, like Ogeretsu Tanaka.
My personal favorite ship is Kaga/Kuro, the mcs, though even if you don't like their dynamic there's like a hundred others that get a lot of time. I like the comfyness of KagaKuro and how they both grow from their messy past relationships through their own time together. Plus light and shadow dynamics always kill me.

This isn't about a particular series and it happens with f/f too, but I hate it when I am invested in a pairing and the pairing is hinted/baited hard, and there are only two mains, who are both of the same gender and the series builds up their chemistry over the course of fuck knows how many chapters and episodes etc.
And THEN a new character of the opposite enters the stage. And the moment they appear you just know exactly what will happen. Like it doesn't matter that they just appeared out of nowhere, that they have no connection to or chemistry with the current main dudes (or women), but since het rules the world you just know that one (or both) character will fall for them and that the show will be vocal as shit about it to make things clear and you can only sit back and watch in horror how it develops.
Usually it happens and changes within seconds or a few episodes. Or sometimes in the very last chapter, just because. Like some looming shadow in a horror movie and enters the house and you know it will kill one of the mains somehow, but since it's a movie you can't do anything about it.
Well, I guess it's just the classical bait. But I hate how you are never save from this unless you are reading explicitly tagged yuri/BL. As long as a series doesn't end, like actually stops being released, you cannot be sure. Sometimes it might even happen with an already existing character and they pair all every up at the very end to make the mainstream audience happy.
Anyway my point is: I want this to happen the other way around just once and witness the seething.

No. 249613
>>249492Yeah this is exactly the reason for why fanfics and fanart ships are almost always gay. Plus if you are into male characters you almost never get any fanservice either, so fans are inclined on drawing art with their favorite dudes that is cute or sexy because canonically we usually just get tits, characters groping female asses and femme fatales or harem waifu.
Speaking of it I noticed that the same people that get a meltdown everytime a series slightly de-sexualises its female characters are the same that attack artists for drawing lewd male characters, even without anything gay in the pic. Instagram in particular seems to be prone to that shit where people up and get upset for drawing a 2D dude in a sexy pose or something, calling it homosexual and telling you you were destroying their childhood with it.

>>249611It annoys me too and was one of the reasons for why I couldn't get into that Fuuto Tantei anime that recently aired. I get why people like it, it's also looking great, but some fujos hyped it up and the first thing you see is that one of the two MCs is lusting after the perfect woman that looks like an idol and has a mysterious past who then also joins their team. Nothing wrong with her but I knew the guy would never be shippable with the other dude unless you ignore half of the canon.
>this keeps happening again and again, it's like they don't understand their core audienceYeah this. I am tired of shows that try to please everyone and get marketed as fujo shows only to make absolutely clear that one of the dudes is TOTALLY horny for every woman he sees to not alienate the het crowd.

Now thinking about it it's weird how often even I have seen stories with the tag "[male character]/[female character] (past)" and I never got the point of it because when I read it it wasn't even relevant outside of the few scenes where the MC brings it up for no reason.

I like when a character uses womanizing to try to cover that he's actually gay, like Neon Sign Amber. Or when it's used to develop the guy and halfway through the story he realizes womanizing it unsatisfying and he feels like its betraying the person he loves, shit like that.

>>249611>>249647I hate how many modern shows have this trope of a male MC who is gay for the other male MC, who is into a woman that most likely loves him back.
Saikou Bisco had that as well where one of the MCs even confesses his love for the other dude but of course it happens at a moment when that guy cannot hear it and later he impregnates the sister of the gay guy but the series still goes on with its fujo pandering.
It's worse than generic fujobait because they expect me to get into a show for fujo reasons when the gay character is canonically cucked to begin with. No thanks. I rather watch series with no pandering at all and no romance so that I can at least ship the friends or rivals however I want.

>>249630>>249647>>249771I think it depends on how it's done. T&G for example is a show where a character was married to a woman, but it still feels very gay. Something like the Jewel of Richard has the main character crushing on a female (asexual) character for the first half, but then he moves on.
In general, it's a way for easy, drama. If it's two just two gays, what stops them from getting together asap? But it it's gay guy and a bi dude in the closet, then there is potential for drama.
>>249771Reminds me of the millionaire detective show that twitter tried to sell as "So gayy" and then I watched it and it wasn't even homoerotic kek. For this one, we shall sell. Maybe Japanese white suits will finally learn from YoI success and the recent flops of 90% fujo anime and get a clue.

>>249611Preach,
nonny. I feel like the "buddy cop story about a fuckboy who

It always gets hyped up as the ~so gay~ series of the season but it always ends up disappointing and fades into obscurity because it tried to milk the fujo bucks with really tame pandering but didn't deliver. I actually like the "straight turned gay" trope in BL (but it can be grating and annoying too if not done right) because you know it's going to end up with the main couple being romantically involved, but mainstream series like this end with the couple smiling at each other at most. Fucking
Trigger of all studios, the most coomerish one of them all, had the balls to make their male couple kiss, combine to form a heart cloud and basically have the entire soundtrack's lyrics be a love story about them but not one other company can be assed to follow their set example. Everyone saw how well Yuri on Ice did, what's stopping them from pushing the envelope? Homophobic and misogynistic executives is a given but how the fuck doesn't even piles of money persuade them?
>>249979>Reminds me of the millionaire detective show that twitter tried to sell as "So gayy"Kek my point proven because I thought about at least three different series before I was able to pinpoint the show you were talking about.

Good question, but that would require knowing what's in the mind of 70 years old suits. I genuinely just assume they don't want to be associate with (male) homosexuality, just look how gundam has no problem pandering openly to Yuri fans.
This said, I feel like people here may be doomposting this too much. It's an anime original so who knows. Character being a womanizer may be just a way to show the contrasting personality. Het bait and switch is a thing (Richard, YoI) and often leads to pleasant surprise.
But he's hoping JP fujos find their balls (pun intended) and don't support half assed pandering.

I do think the main leads weren't very shippable however yes, but I also don't think it was pushing for "Bait and switch". It felt a serviceable buddy cop show that knew that it wanted to be.
>Fugou Keiji and Great PretenderGP was definitely baiting I agree. One of the writers even said Laurent (was that his name?) was BI, but nothing came out it. Once it moved past the first arc, the two main guys got paired with women.

>>249977If it's not explicitly BL it usually just means that the series is a normal het show but throwing in a gay character that ends up alone and thinks this was enough to sell it to fujos, don't fall for this. It's usually worse than just generic baiting with no results, but actual canon het ships or about the other character lusting non-stop for women to make it clear that he is absolutely NOT gay just because his friend is.
The majority of het-onlys and people that get
triggered by gays can tolerate a gay character well as long he/she is just the cucked guy that gets shit while the other character and their interest in the opposite gender (usually m->f) is in the focus. Basically what

It's a bummer and I am skeptical, but I will surely give it a few episodes. Though personally, if bi, I prefer the trope with the lost ex or dead wife. TaB and Samurai Flamenco worked perfectly with that. I hope it's not playboying without development because that's a trait that can legit be annoying. In some cases it feels shoved in to clarify that the characters are absolutely not gay even if it's two male mains and serves no other purpose.

Now if I was wearing a tinfoil hat I would even speculate on whether a canon het romance for a gay(ish) series was the point of debate that is one of the causes for the constant delay of it, considering that it was largely the basically/almost canon gay ship that caused the huge uproar and hype for that series. A het romance would risk to destroy that hype and it might very well be the case that they did not expect people to get so infatuated with the main ship when they were still producing the tv series. But that's just silly theories.
I am not sure how to feel that I have a legit reason for not wanting the movie to happen now because you are right. And because most movies that air only ages after the tv series happen to be shit and the type of stuff most fans choose to forget.

Also ones that are passably written in British English, with no Americanisms (biggest pet peeve that will make me stop reading any HP fic, unless it's a masterpiece in terms of plot) Read very few drarry fics so far.

>>250538Technically speaking out of three main characters one was in love with the other, of course he got friendzoned but at least they kept Reo and Mabu canonically homosexual and didn't kill them off. Ikuhara, the series creator, has always included gay characters in his works and even though he's a complete weirdo and a coomer I still forgive him for putting in gay couples just as much as he does lesbian couples.
Related to Samumenco, I wonder how far it would go if it was released today. I feel like Yuri on Ice was groundbreaking in the sense that they made portraying gay couples outside of BL at least an inch more accepted so maybe they would be more courageous in writing a romance between Masayoshi and Goto. Then again I had hopes for Great Pretender too because it was a Netflix production (i.e. more corresponding to the western audience's tastes) with a canonically bisexual character and they fumbled it completely. But on the other hand Devilman Crybaby did go balls to the wall with gay.

No. 251200
>>251104I get what you mean.
The story starts out seemingly shallow, like it's just generic yaoi rape porn. Many BL start out like this and then have the uke fall in love with the abuser and eventually forgive the abuse without much of a fuss.
But in this one you start to notice that Minho unexpectedly behaves more like a SA
victim would? Like, the futile attempts to regain some semblance of normality in his life, the need to dissociate, the self-isolation, and then straight out self-destructiveness. It starts getting too real, to the point that now you can't stop seeing Minho like a human with actual pain, and not just an uwu uke with an ouchie.
I love it when a story is somewhat self aware like this.

>>251625I feel like the passion for BL is so apparent in NU:C itself. All of the characters are either perfectly played tropes or trope subversions but not in a bad way, in a way that shows the writers' understanding of the genre and probably their own preferences as well. I usually get bored of mobile games quickly but I really like the characters and scenarios so I've kept playing daily since it came out. My only wish is that they would switch up some of the characters' positions a little more. Having a switch MC was the best move (afaik Eiden is actually the most popular character) but I wish some of the other characters would get switch scenes too. They do a good job varying all of the fetishes and positions, but I would fucking kill to see Yakumo or Dante bottom.

>>251625I would love a series about comrades, maybe in war or other dire times. Not too dark and edgy it should tackle serious themes but have enough funny moments as well.
This is maybe a guilty please of mine that I will witness, but I wish there was a series like that and that it dealt with a non-romance plot and the romance was limited to a good fremeny chemistry and typical baity fujo fanservice, only to make the MC give his goal up to save the other one from death/suicide/insanity at the very end.
It needs to be well written and have good characters to not come off as cheesy but I think it's possible and maybe not even unthinkable to happen in real life. If you are constantly fighting for your life and witnessing friends and enemies die at some point it would make sense to nope out of this, say that you rather prefer to save that other guy after spending so much time with him than risking more and seeing more corpses. Tell the warlords, the treasure hunters, the dream chasers or whatever the goal was related to to fuck off and go away because you realised that being a content nobody without much money but a person you are close to is better than being rich or famous but dead inside or die before even getting there.

Currently getting off my lazy ass and scanning a 200 page doujin anthology of my OTP out of pure spite that I probably never would have bothered doing otherwise, just because I know the western fandom doesn't like it 'cause age gap (even though they're non-humans with impossible ages but that's nu-fandom for you).

No. 254062
>>254033Holy shit I love you. One of the reasons I am drawing a certain guy and gay ship he's part of all time is that the western fandom hated him so much that they started to call fans of him far-righters for no logical reason but them meme'ing a classic villain into being that. So I felt I had to spread positivity or get blocked by those that cannot cope with it. He was one of my few favorites so I would have drawn him regardless, but this gave me an additional motivation.
The best is that you might spread love and actually encounter fans of this ship! Or encourage shy fans to admit their sympathy for them and enjoy drawing them too. It's fiction and chances are high that the haters and anti-shippers defend mass murdering characters somewhere (not that it's bad, it's fictional dudes), so fuck their bias anyway.

>>253879>>253899I personally only bother uploading to exhentai because MRM is a crapshoot on whether or not mods actually approve what I upload or not. I often like shit with small to nonexistent English fandoms, for example untranslated BL games, and I suspect if they don't know what the source material is they don't approve it even if it's labeled properly in the file name. Possibly because they don't care to have things that won't get them lots of clicks/traffic on their website (would also explain the explosion in furshit since furries are rabid and will click on everything with fur in it). Also apparently they've done trashy things with scanlators' uploads like edited out links on credit pages (makes me suspect the clicks/traffic thing again), and will also cave in and delete doujins/manga if their twittertard commenters cry hard enough about it.
In any case, MRM is shit and I hate that it ended up becoming the "go-to" for BL because retards were too scared/dumb/

I love this trend of age gap relationships where the younger one is the top, more assertive, charming and chases the older one who is like "no way i'm gonna fall for this young guy/my student".

>>254279I am usually not into it exactly but this pic made me interested. So sad it's not translated.
I think all kinds of relationships can work if they are done right. I also have a weak spot for teacher/student shit tbh. I guess it's pretty typical for women or girls to have a crush on a teacher at some point which is why female authors are more likely to draw series like this. It helps that this manga doesn't make the age gap too obvious. It's not a shota and a teacher, but a guy who looks like the same age, so I assume he is 16-17 maybe? And the teacher a young one in his early 20s or something.

I can get into het as well but that romance made me drop the show. You couldn't have a single damn Jeanne scene without her blushing and being all insecure and horny for the guy and Dominique or what her name was also mainly just exist to be the waifu of the other dude.
It's especially disappointing since Jeanne was introduced as the scary fighter and tomboy and the only episode that might feel slightly gay if you wear huge googles was the first one. I would genuinely believe that this manga was written by a man if I didn't know any better. Pandora Hearts was much better in every regard.

Same as the many new anime like that new "gay" spyxfamily that looks like a fujo show but then you read the bios and they make clear that one of the MC is a playboy.
Or look at shit like Kado, one of the worst, most aggressive anti-gay shows with gay bait I have ever seen. Make the show all about fujo pandering including a confirmed gay dude who is into MC and then force in the magical girl with episode 8/12 or something, pair her up with the MC, turn the bishounen who is probably gay too into a psychotic villain and kill him, undo everything the series achieved before plotwise (like saving humanity from starvation and war because that's evil now) and force the gay nice guy to babysit the kid of the guy that cucked him with the space waifu.
Yeah fuck it, not saying we need canon pairings but the fujo baiting and advertising for openly het shows annoys me.

>>254892No I mean another anime this is why I called it gay SxF. Forgot the name but P.A. Works announced an original with two guys who are cops or spies that adopt a little girl so it looks like a show riding on the hype SxF has caused but it's meant to pander fujos instead.
The thing is just that one of two dudes is described to be a woman lover that chases every hot lady in the down and he is also addicted to gambling so my fujo related expectations are low. It will probably be another show where one character is gay but the series makes it clear that he is friendzoned forever because they don't want to lose the mainstream audience either.

>>254763Yeah I was so disappointed by it too. I loved Pandora Hearts but this is just shit and I couldn't care less about the plot. I'm not even someone who exclusively reads bl, after all I read Pandora as well and loved it, but this one is just SO focused on the hetero romances that it has become annoying. Every girl character is there to drool over and blush at the sight of their designated guy, and the guys go from having gay-ish deep moments (Vanitas and Noe dancing, them strolling around Paris solving shit, Noe and the dead brother/best friend) to blushing and having awkward (bordering on embarassing because they really are a lot) hetero moments with characters they have no chemistry with. Jeanne must be some kind of self insert because liteally every character wants to fuck her but she's also supposed to be this shy but scary and powerful being everyone wants to stay away from?? She feels like a mary sue to me.
>>254883>Or look at shit like Kado, one of the worst, most aggressive anti-gay showsOh my fucking god the waste that was that anime. So many episodes spent to build up the MC and this hot alien guy's relationship only to insultingly introduce the asspull waifu who somehow happens to also be an alien and they fuck of course. They could have explored on the complex/
toxic obsession of the alien or the things he offered more and find a way to make MC reason with him but nope, put the mary sue waifu there, have him fuck her, they have a fucking daughter and they defeat the "evil" guy that gave them infinite energy and food.
No. 255102
>>255072>>255091It legit felt like someone was hijacking the show because it's not only the gay part that's fucked, the entire series was building up to be the best anime dealing technological advancement brought by aliens willing to cooperate and help humanity to solve crises in a rational way and the MC's part was to discuss the pro- and cons with the alien.
It was FINALLY an anime that didn't force the stupid "technology = bad, suffering = good because it makes us human" meme that you see in almost every sci-fi anime in some way. The alien dude was also rational and trying to sell his stuff to the humans while being mindful of their fears.
And then suddenly they go all "nope, gayness and technology BAD", switches the genre and turns into one of the worst shitshows I have ever seen and I cannot view it as anything but anti-progress anti-gay propaganda for how blatant and bad it was. And yeah the gay dude was punished for being gay. He wasn't just forced to watch his crush marry and impregnate a magical alien girl (who is also a god) but he had to raise their kid for 16+ years alone to save humanity or some shit.

I shipped them so hard back when Mass Effect was more popular. They had such a small but awesome fanbase who wrote novel-length content of lore surrounding them and they had awesome fics and art and I cannot remember a single bad experience with anybody who shipped them. I also found one of my best friends there who happened to be one of the fans involved creating stories for them.
I love these two ruthless aliens and their special OPs missions (and the tragic story).

I cannot imagine that anybody cares and falls for this so what's the point? Do they think fujos are so dumb that they believe some sudden teasing meant that the mal MC might cuck the main girl when half of the series was about that very romance?
Maybe if a series gets axed and the mangaka takes revenge I can imagine that happening, otherwise I rather not see it at all since it akin making fun of people that would be into gay ships.

>>255243I see some Golden Kamuy or Jojo art go up to 30k or something sometimes, single pretty dudes can reach 50k or more if done by an artist with large follower base so I think you can get some good numbers somethings but yeah, I am not following moe and such but wouldn't wonder if it would regularly get higher numbers while being much, much easier to draw. And everything involving coomers doesn't need background or any interesting motifs or poses.
If you just want to be popular the easiest thing is to just draw anime girls and nothing else. Will be easier too so that's why some artists do it.
I am honestly glad that unlike the west where almost every no-name artist wants to become a professional and make money with art Asians and Eastern Europeans I see rarely do this and just draw what they love. I too have so much more fun drawing my boys or my niche ships than anything that would get me ten times the likes so I stick with this. The money isn't worth it anyway, you need like 10h-30h for a picture but what you get with comms or merch you sell are pennies.

Most male fans only cared about the toys and or asked about shitty badass crossovers that make no sense but that they wanted to see so that their favorite toylines would do cool pew pew together.
Meanwhile women were interested in the comics and cartoon lore and the characters. A long-time male fan who happened to be into the stories said the same to me.
I am glad they acknowledged that with the IDW comics and the many gay pairings that must have caused a lot of strokes among the male boomer fanbase.

>>255230In terms of Tomino Gundam, I had a blast watching Zeta and shitposting on /m/ (4chins) back in the day. This was like a little over 10 years ago. I also loved the characters and world building in Turn A.
For non-Tomino Gundam, I liked 00 the most. Still makes me lol that they got Yun Koga (of Loveless fame) to do the character designs. It got so many doujins back in the day it isn't funny. Still follow one artist who's been into it since it aired and still tweets about it daily. Some keks were had when something she often writes in her doujinshi/fanart basically became canon in the stage play, and half the fandom immediately thought of her and @ed her when it was revealed.

I didn't watch any of the recent Gundam series I should catch up again. The only one I tried is the Witch that airs right now but it was the first Gundam in ages that I dropped. Even BL pandering aside I didn't like the characters and it felt like a kindergarden drama to me.

>>255469Not them but wasn't bara a fixed term for a very specific type of fat hairy fetish character? I would call Tanigaki bara in that sense (since he also gets fat later so it matches), otherwise maybe Kiroranke but not sure about the rest. Ogata is borderline twinky and in some panels he has the face of a k-pop idol and Sugimoto is just a handsome athletic man.
I have no problem calling it bara btw and usually do so when I talk to friends about it.
But I bet common bara fags would call it fake because they are too pretty. I would say "bara for women" lol but both Araki and Noda are men publishing shounen/seinen manga. Would honestly not complain if there was a proper term for this type of bara or whatever you call it.

>>255485Yeah this is my problem. Not me being paranoid of the term. The thing is just that it is a Japanese term, so we have to look at how the Japanese use it.
I don't think it's a problem if it's used among the western female bubble if fans use it to specify their taste (like a saw a lot of Gamagori fangirls calling him bara) but it might confuse people outside of that bubble. Personally I just call them "big beefy" guys or something. Wish we had a specific english term for this that only applies to muscular handsome manga and cartoon characters.

The body art for this story is fucking awful, it looks like it was drawn by someone who has a fetish for transmen or for men with gynecomastia.
First of all the black haired guy literally has FEMALE boobs, and the character hips look a bit weird too.
The light brown hair character's face reminds me of Onision.
The story is cringe as hell with the author trying to force comedy and and derp faces in every slide when its not needed. The characters remind me of wookyung and minho…..but a version if the two of them had down syndrome or autism.

The word bara comes from Barazoku, the name of a gay magazine.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarazokuIt started getting used sort of as a slur, then sort of got reclaimed, then fell into irrelevancy. Nobody in Japan has used this term anymore for anything for a long, long time. When they refer to the geicomi Tagame body type they use gachimuchi. In any case, using any of these terms outside of the context of geicomi is pants on head retarded.

>>255583Same here, thanks for the rec these designs look decent.
>>255585It is. Drawfag here so sorry for the sperging: coloring is hard and good coloring takes a lot of time. When you draw something the first layers of color will always make the pic look worse than without it. It needs a lot of refining, a good eye for color schemes and ideally knowledge about how lighting and shading work and how to use them to lead the eye to make it really good.
Because contrast is VERY important in a pic since tells you where the focus lies, gives you a sense of space and depth and makes the whole composition look good because we like what we can easily recognize since it gives off a sense of harmony.
If you consider pic related pretty for example chances are high that the pretty and clear contrast is the main reason for it. The other reason is the harmony of colors in it.
Most Manhwas suck at all of that and since they are colored they spend less time than mangaka thinking about how do create contrasts, lights and shadows to make the important parts stand out in monochrome panels. So not only do the colors themselves look flat, the panels do as well and the background is as light/dark as the characters in the foreground, merging all of it into a mush or inharmonic chaos, especially if everything is pastel-colored, respectively too colorful without any sense of beauty.

Others again are fanatical kinner-self-inserters that get a panic attack if you pair their husbando up with another character, especially a man they cannot self-insert into and the religious crazies get mad on principle because it's a sin and so on.

It's strange because as you say first of all many BL mangaka probably know that series and secondly BL is already flooded with arrogant and powerful semes so we might as well go a step further and make them hot-headed and magical too. I even think that many of the power gap series would work much better if the series was trashier and the seme dumb, despite of his powers. I am not a fan if it's too serious, makes it feel creepy sometimes-
Besides that I also just need more high fantasy yaoi in general. BL with story aren't rare, so why not put some of them into a magical setting? Especially with the flood of isekai we get I am a bit disappointed that almost all of it is harem or otome so far (I prefer genuine fantasy, but still).

>>257010Game is mid even without JAST's inane translation. 3/4ths of the game are basically filler where there is no plot (and what little plot there is is ridiculously retarded), which makes it worse because the game presents itself as "dark and serious". The real game is chapter 1 and then the true route, which is very good, but sadly weighted down by the previous 40 hours of filler (yes, that is how long it takes to get there). The 3 filler LIs' dynamic with Towa is really that not interesting and the endings are all vanilla (definitely none of the fun crazy bad ends of DMmd. They're probably saving them for a fandisk/DLC which is disappointing). I wouldn't go in with high expectations or you'll be disappointed.

I just find it hard to believe that a male can draw gracefully like that, make interesting female-gaze designs and spam his twitter with AUs (that have far too much effort put into them) of his own characters going on fluffy dates and also making angsty/cute fanart of videogame/show characters. Plus the female characters in the old works aren't sexualized and one's about a plain girl falling in love with this beautiful alien man winged thing. That's just such a woman thing to do… a male would just draw ugly smut over and over with no plot or depth. If it is a male then it's a very odd one.

I wish casual gay relationships weren't so hard to find in manga. This is one thing comics sometimes do better IMO. I don't read Marvel or DC so no idea about them but with less known series sometimes gays just pop up in a sci-fi or space series where you didn't see it coming, while the plot evolves naturally. I need more of this.
Most gay stuff is fully romance or sex focused which is nice when you are in the mood of it but sometimes I desire long-running series that more than mundane gay fluff or non-stop kink porn (not that any of this is bad on principle). I think this is why I desire gay VNs so much. They are usually fully gay too, but have at least a main plot that isn't related to gayness and romance.

Women can draw in a lot more art styles and handle a variety of themes well because they're not constantly thinking with their pussies and even when they are a lot of the time they make the effort to give some sort of depth. Even men like Nagabe who have cute art styles can't help but suspiciously include innocent loli/big monster guy shit in their works.

>>256774I just read this story and all i have to say is wow, its dark but slightly impressive with a message behind it??
Dont read if you dont want to see spoilers below.
forgot the character names so ill just call them purple hair and black hair, purple hair lives a nice and stable happy life with friends and a job, while he is looking at the rear view in his car he notices someone inside the car who then kidnaps him and takes him to his place, there the purple hair is subjected to abuse and rape, the purple hair almost dies by not eating food and then the black hair hooks him to a IV, then the purple hair wakes up and he is only wearing a military shirt then the black hair asks him if he remembers him from the military, the purple hair has forgotten everything he did in the military even when the black hair tells him his name. Then we get a short backstory and glimpse on what the black hair talking about and thats when we realize that purple hair was actually the scumbag abuser, during military the purple hair bullied the black hair, raped him, encouraged others gangraping him and hiding it from the supervisor. After that the black hair makes it his goal to try and catch purple trying to escape and kill him. Unfortunately purple hair starts to pretend to act obedient and stays inside the house and never leaves which makes black hair angry since he is waiting every day for him to try to leave so he can kill him. On the final day the black hair get tired of waiting and starts preparing to murder purple hair and starts the preparation. The purple hair was able to escape by untying himself while the black hair was too busy preparing, he then grabs a knife and hides while black hair is looking for him. He overpowers black hair and stabs him to death. The he runs outside covered in blood where he collapses. Then a year passes and purple hair gets his life in order again and still doesn't remember the things he did to black hair or cares, then suddenly black hair shows up in his door again, the purple hair losses his mind because he knows he killed him so why is he still alive and suddenly the purple hair transports back to where he was kidnapped again in ropes and the black hair injecting him with a needle….then he wakes up and he is in the mental hospital and there was a nurse injecting him with a needle while he is screaming and hallucinating, then from the back of the mental hospital he can see black hair watching him (which i think is also a hallucination). The story ends with the black hair dead and the purple hair in the mental hospital.Sorry if my summary is shit.

>All their art starts looking like typical scrote art too. Exactly this. I would think it was male hentai coomers if I didn't know they drew pretty m/m or yuri before. To make it worse every woke and (female) genderspecial person I see hypes this shit up as if it was the most progressive thing to do to lust over giant cow tits like some porn addicted otaku and draw hentai with it.
They probably think they are super woke for proving that they are bi or lesbian and horny but honestly not even my male friends talk like this and it weirds me out a bit seeing women lusting over that in discords with hundreds of people, being proud of it and calling it epic if some former yaoi and yuri artist starts drawing the worst type of male type coomer trash all of a sudden.
But I guess as long as you pretend that the woman is "male" it still counts as "yaoi" to them. I hate that words stopped having meanings lol

Has anybody recs for yaoi (preferably manga or VNs) with
problematic subs?

I liked Saezuru for similar reasons but thanks to a job I that I hated I haven't read anything yaoi the last years.
>>258108I witness this too. It doesn't help that most of them self-insert or "kin" either. This is the reason for the trans-washing I think. A woman relates to a male character but wants to be him so she turns him into an Aiden, so a woman. This is why they also feminise them or make characters fat.
These people and classic kinners are also incredibly defensive about every single of their headcanons and they have a billion. Hell, I knew one that copied her own life and family and "headcanoned" it to be 1:1 the story and environment of a canon character and if you disagreed with her about a 40 year old alien dude having an evangelical grandma, a dog and and a house in some US state I forgot the name of then she would attack you and call you out for being

Maybe I just don't like Taku's route because I've played almost every BL vn that has been translated.That's cuz Hashihime's first route is the route that backloads all the plot and plot twists. It's actually pretty much a novel by itself. I don't think I've played anything like that before, it's very fast paced and the the characters back-and-forts are "snappy", for lack of better words. Also the plot is actually good.
Slow Damage for what I played it's just very, very slow. I've seen people describe as "characters talks a TED talk" and I have to… agree? The cast doesn't really seem very interesting to me. And the dialogues are just so boring for me. I had the same issue with DMMD and TnC.
I don't know how to explain, but it's like even the writers aren't interested inthe cast. I heard the last route is actaully very good but I can't get past the boring Taku or Rei's routes.

And I'm biased because I really liked how bratty and teasing Towa is to Rei, who's vulnerable and inexperienced but also dominates Towa. This dynamic in VN is rare!
I also thought it was the most romantic route; they go on outings and have moments of levity. I also found Rei getting beat up hot. Judge me. Still feels like a lot of wasted potential, the route overall does feel vestigial, much like how Taku's did.
Also I tried Hashihime and…I just got through the first story. I read a review saying that the other routes feel tedious. Still not sure whether or push onward. I do like the sadist.

>>258573Ayrt, I liked every route in Hashihime, especially Minakami and Hakase. Hanazawa was a bit boring and filler, but the other routes make up for him. Hashihime was extremely well written. Also I had no clue UuultraC was finally translated and on Steam! I will probably try that one too.
Slow Damage is definitely slow. I know it has a darker tone in comparison to Hashihime of the Old Book town, but it feels like Towa is a caricature of a guy that doesn't care about life and everyone is coddling him. How many times do we need to repeat him doing the same actions, like drinking and smoking or pointless idle conversations that lead nowhere? The mini game for interrogations doesn't matter, Taku and Rei don't have any positions besides parenting Towa. Anons mentioned a lack of chemistry and that's pretty apparent, Towa has more chemistry with side characters. I was more interested in the "euphoria" plots than the main love interests and those guys were infinitely more likeable with 1/4th the screen time of Taku/Rei.
I was expecting something more like Lamento or Sweet Pool going into this.

all the routes are technically canon, the last one isn't the "true one", despite what is presented in the game.But the second route is very good! I really like Kawase. But it does feel like a very "spin off route" because you already know all the answers to the misteries. But I also think why the novel got so popular in Japan, because the first two routes are just so good, both Minakami and Kawase are popular archetypes and they are done well.

>>259262I may have autism but Lamento was peak literature. Some of you sheeple need to wake up. And no I have not played it since 2012, it will remain peak in my mind if I don't read it ever again. The only thing I really remember was that I wanted Asato very badly and he really reminded me of Jacob from Twilight because of the whole tribe thing.

>>259186It usually is bad, but I'll admit it's not a great plot to begin with. People in the Fandom try to find hidden meanings and foreshadowing on everything, but it's just a thrown together story for the sake of pretty boys with homoerotic tension - which is great and it doesn't have to be more than that. Recently she(?) has been trying to tie things up with a story, which is cool and all but hardly an award winner.
Also, Chinese censorship has gotten worse lately so these "cheek" kisses are all were going to get lol

>huge SD rant incoming
>tl;dr - get a save and play only the last route
finished SD, and i'm honestly disappointed. like said upthread the first 3 routes are severilly lacking comparing with the true route, while in DMMD each LI had a similar route and an equal chance to shine. honestly they could have sold only the true route for all the impact and value that the other 3 have (that is none).
>technical shit
the art and soundtrack where great imo, but the exploration/interrogation segments were boring, long and gave a false sense of choice in a linear story. the SFX got tiring quickly. i don't know who started the trend of lovingly rended pictures of food as worthy CGs, but whoever that is should get fucked
>plot
the true route tied up everything with a neat little bow, but one has to read 3 boring routes to get to the actual fucking plot. wtf where they thinking. i get that true route is the one that ties all the other ones in a vn and solves the plot points left hanging, but the 3 first just feel so lacking comparing to it they read like pure filler or a bonus route for a side character.
>porn
pretty tame for a N+C VN with a deparved slut protag, and also lacking (like, one sex scene for the true route? i want a refund) i really liked that the good ending scenes where wholesome and vanilla, but outside of them there was barely any sexual tension or intimacy between Towa and LIs.
>Towa
a blank canvas (hurr durr), but it makes sense plotwise. i loved his breakdown in the true route and wished something similar had happened in the other routes. shit is bad when not only the LIs, but the fucking protag get a shit deal for being in shitty routeshe looks frankly disgusting with blond hair
>LIs
i was expecting to love Madarame (yeah i liked Mink, yeah i'm cringe) and dislike Rei, but i flipped my opinions. their routes are both bland, but Madarame is sooo fucking boring, with no chemistry whatsoever. Rei's route was blah, his character progression was confusing, and the hair cut killed me, but he is endearing and deserved a better route. Taku was good in his own route, but the true route and his backstory are honestly dealbreakers.
>supporting cast
honestly loved it, even Rei's friends Eiji broke my heart, no lie

No. 259861
>>259830>depraved slut protagOh my god. I still can't get over how the game literally ends if you opt to get with someone else in the first two routes. Not a bad end, just a fling! It's almost like the game doesn't want Towa to be Towa except for plot purposes.
Also I agree, I found Rei endearing even though I thought I'd dislike him and I'm bitter over how his route was handled. Any chances NC will ever reveal how they wrote the game? I'd be really surprised if the real pitch wasn't the 4rth route and everyone else was set dressing.
No. 259881
>>259861That bad end was so fucking sudden and bizarre because it wasn't even like anything bad happened, he just had sex kek.
Anyone else hate the interrogations? The game was running so slow and I was naive and trying to get the Taku bad end, but now I just want to get through his route and Rei's so I can get to the apparent good parts. To make matters worse, the game was running like dogshit on my laptop when I was failing to get the bad end and it kept restarting the Taku interrogation near the end game at like 2 fps because I apparently didn't select the right combination of random dialogue that feels AI generated. I restarted my PC and it began to run smoothly again, no idea why God decided to randomly torture me with Taku's route in powerpoint form for so long. The interrogations weren't explained very well and are worthless to me because your choices feel like Towa is just saying random shit. I wouldn't be able to do this without a guide. Am I jusy stupid?
No. 259907
>>259881The universe deleted Towa's thirsty ass, the universe doesn't want Towa to be free. And no you're not dumb. The interrogations were supposed to add tension but in almost none no revelation is made that we didn't already know, so much of it relies upon throwing crumbs at us and hoping it sticks. When I first found out about them I thought they'd be high-octane and scary. What we got was edgy filler.

Like it's seen as innately regressive to have the bottom be a pretty male that still looks like a man. I've also had to unfollow a ton of artists who suddenly started genderbending the bottom characters to be straight out women making the ship completely heterosexual with ahegao shit, lactation and other scrote tropes. It's ridiculous, how the fuck did this even happen? I actually like effeminate twinks and think they're cute but I have to draw the line here.
>>258429NTA but she's clearly talking about the girls who treat the gay ship as some fun sexy side thing but ship the guy mainly with themselves/their female self inserts and they do tend to be extremely narcissistic and delusional about it. I absolutely hate it when they butt in in the comments of a m/m ship fanart/fic to talk about how much they want to personally be railed by the male character, like nobody wants to hear about your obsession with his dick when they're there to see him be shipped with another character.
>>259830Thanks for the writeup, seems like I don't have to check it out despite the hype. I'm not that big into n+c VNs anyway but I thought about trying it out but I guess it's for the people who have enjoyed their previous games as well.

Semi-interesting bl manga gets ruined because the author decides to introduce a literal agp character that's so jealous of the famous sister that he becomes a neet and then starts to crossdress/skinwalki his sister so he can post porn of himself online. He's also catfishing a young guy and it's somehow wholesome. I fucking hate this shit. It would be fine if he was only a crossdresser but this bitch just wants to look like his sister and it's creepy.
No. 260243
>>260219I have a pretty strong distaste for BL with crossdressing elements because it always feels like the female author's self insert and there often are some misogynist and homophobic themes like the one you posted about being jealous of a stacey big sister that are hard to ignore. The character trait itself isn't that disturbing when it happens only occasionally as a curiosity, but so often it takes the "I'm jelly of women and want to skinwalk them" route that it turns uncomfortable.
On a related note, has anyone else had the growing problem of having to unfollow a lot of BL artists after they, out of absolutely nowhere, started focusing on straight porn only? I feel like this never happened 2+ years ago, now just this year I've dropped a lot because I'm suddenly getting bombarded with a nonstop feed of anime tits on my feed. Just where is all of this coming from?

>>260243>has anyone else had the growing problem of having to unfollow a lot of BL artistsYes, a few years ago but not for the reason you stated. It's usually because they turn their personal, fun twitter accounts into professional accounts that are updated less often, with less art, less photos of their books, cats, desks, whatever, and way more retweets announcing their new releases again and again. I remember a very long time ago finding Harada's twitter account where she posted whatever she wanted, especially her original stuff and some Gintama stuff, like in 2014 or 2015 and now she's not following anyone anymore and she posts professional stuff only. Same deal with Asada Nemui posting about her releases and nuking her personal accounts she used to post a shit ton of Xenoblade 2 art. I also followed Kumiko Suekane's personal twitter long ago and she would post her art and announce new doujinshi long ago, now she doesn't use it at all. I think a lot of mangaka do that in general, it's like they treat twitter as their linkedin profile and not as their personal microblogging profile. It's a bit boring now.

>>260262It's not even feminization or anything, just straight out focusing on female coomer characters and drawing them with Z cup breasts in lewd situations. Sometimes genderbends, but just a full on migration to het content.
>>260270Oh yes I totally lament over Harada, it's so boring that her account turned into just an annoucement page for new releases or displays instead of the sketches she used to post. Happened to a lot of artists that I follow, I think Ayano Yamane is one of the rare high profile ones who's still posting about her cats and life in general, she even posted GBF fanart she made just recently. I wonder if they have some anonymous side account they post on in secret?
No. 260273
>>260270Honestly I prefer if they post nothing but art, photos and private shit is clogging my timeline, I am not interested in people's lives I just want fanart and I only post fanart too and nothing else.
But I think that most accounts turn to shit because of similar reasons, as the other anons have said as well. People get addicted to clicks and want to make money so they often stop drawing the cool niche interest and go mainstream, maybe even self-shilling. It's usually the other way around for me and people who only posted art before are suddenly start to blog and I have to unfollow.

>>260278>Honestly I wonder why they even assume that people would stick to their account for a longer while if this is all they do.I guess Japanese fujoshi following professional BL mangaka for years want to still show their support somehow, even if the mangaka's posts and retweets are super repetitive like that.
As for hobbyists, I don't know. I think I've followed a lot of artists on tumblr like a decade ago who would post a lot of art and maybe a few more personal stuff in-between, then they stopped posting because they started focusing on twitter and that was on twitter that I saw them post about their patreon, ko-fi, about where their booths are located in a given anime con, etc. and barely any art or even the occasional personal stuff. Or if they posted personal stuff they would straight up spam it. I don't know, it's not just about fujoshi who draw during their free time, I've seen this with all sorts of artists.
>I generally miss when the internet was just fun and people have used it to engage in their hobbies instead of chasing numbers and bringing real life shit in.I miss it too so much.

>>260284It's no use trying to make gay stories uwu pure and wholesome because they will always find something
problematic about them, and even if they don't they move on to attack you as a person and accuse you of fetishization for being a woman no matter gay or straight. And even if you played your cards right, trooned out and became a Gayden they'll still pull the "you can still fetishize what you are!" card. It's a waste of time playing a game you can't win.
And true, they will look the other way when straight erotica has immensely rapey themes (like all the forced marriage/stalker boyfriend settings) and yell until they turn blue in the face about how it's their given right to enjoy the kind of fiction they want but naturally the rules of liberating female sexuality don't apply to things they don't like or understand. I've heard the "why do you make the other man so twinky, can't you just make a straight out woman??" question so many times I'm having trouble gaslighting myself into believing it's just sincere ignorance and not trying to pressure me into straight fiction.

>>260284It's not just SJW, the whole world turns upside down when it's BL.
Just look how much fucked up content is in anime nowadays, with the rise of light novel fetish and coomer contents are forefront, but no one really cares and even your slave isekai can be anime of the season. It doesn't matter if the girl looks 10 and she's also the MC daughter. Meanwhile a BL can be amazing, but anything but pure wholesome gets shot down.
The world is full double standard for gay media, people always complain that BL men don't "act like men" but no one complains that shounen men are also the same (or shoujo girls, or anything really… they are anime characters.) BL in the last 10 years has come so far but people still make yaoi hand jokes even though the art is easily better than their average moeshit.

>>260301The go-to accusation on lolcow specifically is usually the "fujos are misogynists who hate women, lust after men so hard they become trannies and then fuck each other because they can't get a real dick". In that sense it's not real NLOG behavior but more of a homophobia thing to be honest. Even if you're not lesbian/bi if you're associated with things attributed to gay people (interest in same sex attraction, gender-nonconformity etc) you can still become a collateral
victim of it.
>>260302>BL in the last 10 years has come so far but people still make yaoi hand jokes even though the art is easily better than their average moeshit.This actually makes me want to go lose it. BL has improved in leaps and the art and storytelling has become phenomenal, yet it's still under the microscope while most of yuri is still the same repetitive, patronizing garbage it was in 2008 and het romances entered their terminal coomer phase and you never hear people complain about either of those genres.

>>260301I think part of it is how zoomers feel like they have to characterize fandom interaction as a form of activism to justify partaking in it. It's why they're so obsessed with "representation" above all else–simply liking material depicting two men romantically/sexually entangled without saying it's to give good rep to the LGBT community means it's solely for the viewer's enjoyment, making it selfish and fetishistic in their eyes.
Though like most things, this responsibility falls only on the shoulders of women. Men don't have to justify consuming My Loli Demon Slave is Actually My Sister!? type material, or even yuri–no matter how gross they are about it. It's a way for NLOGs and men to harass women and girls without having to admit misogyny is their reason for doing so.

>>260284It really is just misogyny, coming mainly from men but also from a lot of pickme women. Men can be as degenerate as possibile of course, after all they can openly admit to liking loli torture porn while a bunch of women with hentai pfps will clap at them, but how DARE a woman like something that doesn't sexualize women but gasp sexualises the precious men. How dare women enjoy their sexuality through stories where they don't have to see themselves in another woman (often written by men or for the enjoyment of men) being used as a cocksleeve by some shitty moid character. The women going after fujos are just huge pickmes. They want you to self-insert into a woman character that's basically a stereotype (abused woman, bimbo, huge tits, ahegaos, damsel in distress, manic pixie girl, loli) made for men otherwise you're "mentally ill" and "insecure". Cooming to straight hentai for men while being a straight nlog is fine and cool, comsuming content made by women for women while being attracted to good looking males (therefore not wanting to see a naled woman with huge tits in porn) is sick apparently.

all fujos self insert because "aidens exist" and "one of the guys always looks and acts like a girl anyway" when they look almost exactly the same as all the dating options in heterosexual otome games. I don't have to self insert in order to enjoy romance or erotic content, I'm actually the opposite in that regard, and I expect the two characters to carry the story on their own instead of me having to imagine and project a personality into them. I also don't desire either character sexually, I genuinely just want to read a story without heterosexual relationships. Why does this bother them so much? Do they feel guilt from liking coomershit based on female abuse or something? Are they insecure about having a fetish for psycho scrotes? We might never know.

And of course, a dark council that fills in for Seele. >Shuuji is a lot more panicky and hyper than Shinji, but always has his headphones on. Haru is a more cold version of Kaworu.

Why does this always happen in later seasons? I often feel like people writing or animating cartoons get too cocky after the big success and suddenly force their own wish-fulfillment shit into it. Had to think of what Zuke did with Lapis and Peridot as well, or that artist who literally wrote herself into Owlhouse to pair herself up with the MC (who is a kid).

my favourite thing about lamento by far was the supporting characters: the four demons, that one shaman guy (though i never got far enough to know if they do anything with him or not), those two twin cats that fight together, etc etc.

>>262579100% agree with this sentiment! Lately though I've been feeling a bit lonely. BL and Japanese are my only hobbies now and being an older fujo I feel like the fanbase is becoming too young for me to interact with and such. It seems that a lot of women "grow out" of their BL phase by their late 20s. I think I'm going to become a creepy old lady who never grew out of her teenage-like hobbies and I'm not sure how to deal with that. I can't help what I like.

No. 262967
>>262927I personally noticed that after finding out yaoi around 12 I have been enjoying it more than other types of shipping, if we talk strictly fandom.
A lot of women in fandom read this exclusivity (or almost exclusivity) as a type of misogyny or internalized misogyny, but personally, I realized that I simply have a complicated relationship with female characters and I wouldn't put them through half the humiliating things I like (like sexy cosplay), while it's fair game for male characters. I have plenty of female characters I love and I would put them all above the male characters I ship, but I definitely do not want to see them have sex with a male because part of me registers it as too private and embarrassing. I only have one ship like that and it's probably because the female character of the pairing is shameless, and for me shipping is inherently sexual as it is about romance.
I'd say many yaoi fans have complicated feelings towards female characters, towards heterosexual dynamics and putting female characters in them, but not the way outsiders imagine it. It's ridiculous that fandom always imagines it comes from a place of misogyny and self-hatred as if liking yaoi only is possible if you're a misogynist.
You should not listen to that voice in your head, you should instead remember that fiction is not reality and that we apply different rules to it than we do with real people and situations, which is something fandom as a whole seems to be forgetting.
You're not gonna be an Aiden because some anon on lolcown said all yaoi enjoyers will become misogynist Aidens.

>>263110No. 6, Yuri on Ice, and Banana Fish weren't technically marketed as "BL" either, but they're considered legendary in the genre because they feature gay relationships. Even if Hikaru isn't considered BL for whatever reason, it still has a gay main character with a male looking monster that's in love with him. Yes, I'm also concerned that it will get less gay as it progresses, but it's still ongoing so we'll just have to see. Also idk how she can say it's up for interpretation when she used to draw them kissing before it was officially published. Tinfoiling but I think that any decrease of gay is/will be because of the editors or publisher.

Did a full investigation of her twitter and found any tweet I could of the mention of BL in regards to the series and found this.
She retweeted an article that called it a horror BL, but she herself has never confirmed or denied it being BL. She likes tweets from people both speculating that it is and isn't. Most of the replies to her tweet speculating about the genre call it BL, so it seems most of the fans of the series see it as such, but some don't. Her original concept comics of the characters are not publicly available any more so I don't know if she called it BL before it got published, but she definitely drew some gay shit of them beforehand. Also worth mentioning, but Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu is her first serialized manga series, she's only done short, single chapter BL manga before this. She's also apparently really young, like in her 20's I'm presuming.
tldr: she never said it was or wasn't BL in the first place and she actively likes tweets supporting both interpretations.

do those otome style series where a girl is reincarnated (or otherwise adopted) into a rich family exist in bl? it doesn't even have to be explicit bl, so long as the mc is a dude.
